CONFERENCE
I thoroughly enjoyed conference this weekend. And not only because you don't have to go to church (although that is a nice benefit :). I'm not sure why, but this conference I especially loved. I had a greater desire/motivation to listen and to apply the messages; I felt the spirit so stongly on numerous occasions; I felt, more than I have before, that the talks were geared especially for me; and I didn't fall asleep AS MUCH as I have in the past (those afternoon sessions are killer sometimes). What an inspired meeting conference is! What better way to bring members together while teaching and sharing revelations...its awesome.
Anyway, Saturday was a little rough on our puppy. It was raining all day long and we were all cooped up inside, so he had a lot of energy to release on us. He was driving me CRAZY! All he wanted to do was go out and play in the rain (he LOVES water), and by the 10th round of him scratching at the door to be let out and us letting him out, just to bring him back in all wet and dirty, I had had it. So Travis decided to brave the rain and take him on a walk..mind you it is down pouring! Travis put on his rain gear and they left. I was getting ready for the day (yes, this was at 4 pm!) and heard the door bell ring. I opened the door to find Travis and Cooper on the doorstep, both completely drenched and dripping all over the porch! I ran to grab a towel, and on the way grabbed my camera. It was quite the sight. Cooper, of course loved it, so I guess it was worth it (as long as it was Travis out in the rain and not me!)
On Sunday we watched conference with our friends and enjoyed a DELICIOUS fruit crepe breakfast. Then in the afternoon we went to my parents to watch the 2nd session and to do a little early birthday celebration! Lucky me I get to have a birthday week! Here's some pictures...
The picture really doesn't capture how soaked they were.
Here's Coop, our little drowned rat :)
Me and my bros with my birthday cake. Buttermilk pound cake with strawberries and whipped cream! Delicious!!
Travis and the two little boys...not sure why they decided to duck and give peace signs...
These are Cooper's friends that live next door to my parents, JJ and Luke. They are the cutest little puppies and the three of them love to play! JJ and Luke came up on my parents back porch probably 5 different times during the afternoon/night to scratch on the door for us to let Cooper out to play. It was so cute!
....and another drowned rat pic of Coop, I apparently put in on twice. Oops.

Looks like a great weekend. That was a very nice thing if Trav to take the doggy for a walk. I would have put him in his kennel.:( (I guess that's why I don't have a dog.) Love that pound cake - and Happy Birthday on Friday if I don't tell you later!:)
Happy Birthday to you!!! I think this calls for a celebration at Chili's!! When can we go????
Good times!! Is it bad that I'm getting to the point that I'm lonely when all you guys aren't here? :)
Birthday party at Chili's!!! We missed you guys on Sunday, we are SO ditching family next year :)
We drove by Travis when he was walking Cooper, what a trooper! I'm such a wus when it comes to downpouring, flooding rain. BTW, I hope you are feeling better!
I love the expression has on his face in the wet picture. Have a Happy Birthday Week! I love stretching birthdays out all week long.
I can totally imagine how wet that cute pup really was. It seems like dogs just soak up all the water and hoard it in their fur! Cute pics, hope you have a good birthday week!
Happy Birthday Karlee. Hope you had a great week!
